Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly set to sign a four-year deal to take over as Manchester United boss next week.

Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly poised to sign a four-year deal to take over at Manchester United next week.

Despite links with the likes of Luis Enrique, Mauricio Pochettino and Julen Lopetegui, the Red Devils are understood to have chosen Ten Hag as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's permanent successor.

The 52-year-old has been loath to discuss the role while he remains in charge of Ajax, who are taking on PSV Eindhoven in the final of the KNVB-Beker on Sunday.

According to the Daily Mail, Ten Hag will put pen to paper on a Man United deal until 2026 once the Dutch Cup final is concluded, and work has already begun on his backroom staff.

The report adds that Ajax assistant Mitchell van der Gaag is set to follow Ten Hag to Old Trafford, but Robin van Persie is unlikely to join his compatriot due to family commitments in his native Netherlands.

Ahead of Ten Hag's anticipated arrival, Man United players have supposedly been asking former Ajax starlet Donny van de Beek about the manager's training methods.
